Polaroid A8 8" Tablet FULL ROOT

I just recently picked this up from walgreens $94.15 out the door.

It came with root access, I got it home popped in a SD card that I had SuperSU and Root Explorer on, allow unknown sources was already checked so I used the native file manager and tried to install SuperSU, it installed, I opened it it asked to update the binary I said ok it said success, so I went back and installed Root Explorer opened it it asked for Superuser permissions I said yes and Voila!:victory: FULL ROOT. I then called southerntelecom to ask about the firmware update to support google play and what not; if it would revoke Super User permissions like most firmware updates do. I could tell that they didn't really want to give me a straight answer, was told they couldn't answer, that they weren't sure if it would or not, (how could they not know? :confused:) I was even put on hold a couple of times, I was eventually told that someone in tech support was going to install the update on one of the tablets they had there and they would call me back and have an answer for me.:rolleyes: That was on a Friday, and believe it or not, Monday afternoon they called me back :eek:But they still really didn't have an answer for me:(, said that tech support didn't get a chance to do an install to check :rolleyes:.

But anyhoo what I WAS able to find out, was that, supposedly, every thing needed to support google was already installed, just missing the google APK's because of licensing, kinda like CM. So time to do some investigating. I took a jelly bean gapps package (I think it was for 4.2.3 cause google ears was in it) and started comparing; and what I found was it did seam to have all the needed underlaying google framework support files except for com.google.android.media.effects.jar, Facelock.apk, Phonesky.apk/aka playstore, and of course the regular google apps that you can download from the playstore. I of course had everything extracted out of the gapps.zip file and I just dropped them into their respective places and folders, set permissions and ownership, deleted dalvic cache and cache and rebooted and waited..........aaaannndddddddd BAM! :highfive::victory:

I now have an 8" tablet with full Root SuperUser capabilities, 1ghz dualcore processer (overclocked with set cpu,) 1GB/DDR3 ram, Dual cameras, WI-FI,(look's like it also has support for a 3g dongle), Bluetooth, HDMI out and fully supports google play store and whatnot.

I cant complain, pretty pleased with it actually, it's fast, and seems to have decent battery life and I also now have init.d support on it. There's a few more tweaks I would like to do to it yet like expanding the 4gb internal storage with the 32gb external SD card; ideally I would like to seamlessly merge the two so the tablet would see just one 36gb storage place for all apps and whatnot but I think I'm hoping for too much on that one:silly:

[G2 Themes and Apps] Sprint76:
This thread is for custom battery icons for the G2 that are installed with the Xposed Framework.

I have installed several from the thread found here and found that the size, alignment or color is incorrect for the G2 status bar.

I started with #7 Circleblue from that thread and resized it for the G2 as well as changed it to white to match the rest of the statusbar icons..

I am not a developer, just someone with access to photoshop for batch actions, so my abilities are extremely limited. I can do some resizing/color changing, but that's pretty much it at this point. I am open to modifying/creating some custom icons as long as they are within my abilities.

All files are listed below in post #2 with a preview of each version.

Credit:

dr.ketan for compiling the original thread of battery icons

dully79 for his original battery icons and tutorial

Instructions:

-Install Xposed framework

-Disconnect from charger

-Install the battery .apk you choose

-Open Xposed Installer App

-Select the installed battery module you like

-Reboot

-Test to see if icon sticks when connecting charger

-If icon doesnt stick on first reboot, disconnect from charger and reboot (not hotboot) again. Not sure why, but sometimes they need the extra reboot.

Known Issues:

May not work with Gravity Box, or other XPosed modules that effect statusbar.

Not sticking on initial reboot after activating the module. Try another reboot.

Modules are only tested on a Verizon G2 running Malladus ROM.

White Circle Battery

Blue Circle Battery

Green Circle - (No modification, just a link to original.)

Grey Circle - (No modification, just a link to original.)

Alexander - (No modification, just a link to original.)

On these, I've noticed that on the first reboot after installing, the icon will totally disappear as soon as phone is in charge mode. Rebooting again seems to solve the issue. I've been running these for a few days now without issue.

SenseTube - (Resized to center in status bar, fixed a few transparency issues)

White Circle
[G2 Themes and Apps] Incep:
Hey, thanks, I've been looking for this the last few days, since the original didn't work. Haven't managed to get your mod to work yet though, when I rebooted nothing was changed for me :(
[G2 Themes and Apps] Sprint76:
Do you have xposed installed, and the module activated?
[G2 Themes and Apps] saldebot:
Did not work for me either...
[G2 Themes and Apps] Sprint76:
Anyone get it to work?

I just uninstalled, re-downloaded and it seems to work fine on my end. Not sure if it matters, but I'm on a Verizon device running Malladus 1.2.1
[G2 Themes and Apps] DroidmanDan:
Any chance you guys used another module to remove the stock battery icon and that is why the new icon isn't showing up?
[G2 Themes and Apps] saldebot:
You sir are correct, this module does not work with gravitybox. I did not have the battery disabled in gravitybox either.
[G2 Themes and Apps] Sprint76:
I spent a few hours tonight getting my machine setup to compile/decompile and I think i now have the ability to do some minor editing of the xml files.

The app names should now be correct when installed. The attachment to the original post has been updated to reflect this.
[G2 Themes and Apps] bowen873:
There is already a stand-alone white circle battery module available which I'm currently running on my Verizon G2 without any issues. I just can't remember where I got it. Once I find the link I'll post it...
[G2 Themes and Apps] tarkil:
How do you guys get white icons (4.4 style) ?

I'm using Xposed module XThemeEngine + theme "KitKat for LG G2" (from G2 Themes and Apps forum), but it's not compatible with this circle battery mod...

And I'd like to get both, as the default stock (blue) icons are quite ugly...

Thanks !
[G2 Themes and Apps] Sprint76:
The Malladus ROM comes with white icons
[G2 Themes and Apps] neilmc1983:
Thanks for this, now I have the green circle battery. My favorite :)
[G2 Themes and Apps] Sprint76:
Added/Tested a few more. More to come as I have time.
[G2 Themes and Apps] freebee269:
thanks for making this xposed module. i wasnt able to get the blue circle battery one working. here is a screenshot of what it looks like on my at&t g2. i do not have any other battery mods enabled.

EDIT: i see what's going on. the mod only works when the phone is charging. when the phone is charging you get what is in the 2nd screen shot. when it isnt charging you get what's in the first screen shot. is there any way for the mod to work also when the phone isnt charging?
[G2 Themes and Apps] GetPatriotized:
How'd you change your signal icon? and 4G logo to white?
[G2 Themes and Apps] Sprint76:
Try rebooting again (not hot boot) and see if it resolves the issue. I have seen some of the battery modules take an extra reboot to stick for some reason. This is what I mentioned under the white circle mod that is possibly unstable.
[G2 Themes and Apps] freebee269:
i have. i've rebooted atleast 6 times since i posted and it's the same. when charging i get the battery mod. no charging gives me the stock battery icon.
[G2 Themes and Apps] Sprint76:
Can you try the green circle one and first white one to see if they work?
[G2 Themes and Apps] freebee269:
both of those battery mods do the same thing. they work when my g2 is plugged in charging but when i unplug it the battery goes back to stock icon. there might be 2 sections of the smali code. 1 deals with charging and the other deals with not charging. if only the charging part of the code got altered then that would be why the mods arent working when not charging.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wotandsdwys:
OK, so in my area of work, LTE speeds have been way down for the last couple weeks or so. I'm talking around 500k/s download speeds, and that is on a good day. Around home I get 20mb/s which I feel is good for the area, and around 30-35mb/s at my girlfriends house

I'm still on MF9 baseband and firmware. Would going thru the steps to update to MJA have any affect on my data speeds? I've already kinda deducted that it's the area I'm at that is the cause of the slow network speeds, even though its not out in the boondocks, (northside Indianapolis, IN).

So yeah, pretty much just curious about any data speed improvements from updating to MJA baseband/modem/firmware yadda yadda.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Pierson97:
If you flash the MJA modem you will lose sound, unless you're talking about the OTA?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wotandsdwys:
Well I was considering flashing the MJA modem via Odin. I saw the post about how to flash just the modem in another thread, but I don't recall seeing anything about losing sound. Time to start researching whats going on with that.

Have people had that issue when doing upgrading to full MJA (rom/firmware) then going back to a 4.3 aosp rom? Seems like im gonna have fun borking my device tonight!

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sputnik767:
Your phone is obviously LTE capable. Your actual network speeds are a function of Sprint and flashing an updated modem isn't going to make Sprint any faster, just as switching to a different brand of gas isn't going to give you any more horsepower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tensux:
That's not true. I'm not saying it will change it in his case.... and while it wont change what sprint is putting out itself, different modems often affect data speed. And it's often different for every phone and area.

In the year and a half I owed a e4gt, there must have been more than a dozen modem releases. Everyone had their favorites. I had fav one for GB, one for ICS, and another for JB that gave significantly improved speeds and service over the other options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sputnik767:
I had the e4gt myself and I have never noticed a significant difference with any modem that was not attributable to the quality of my connection to sprint. I found that most claims of better performance with a different modem turned out to be more of an anomaly or wishful thinking, at least for me. Likewise with my s3 and s4. I maintain that an updated modem is not going to give you significant improvement by itself, unless the previous version was particularly bad. I have never seen one that was.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tensux:
You are in the minority in your opinion.

to the OP:

I like to listen to a radio station while i shower in the morning before work. In this part of my house only certain modems on the e4gt would get wifi coverage. There are bars that i would like to eat at where only certain modems would get data access to. I would keep a bunch of flashable modems on my sdcard for when ever I got stuck.

The radio in the S4 seems to be very much better than the e4gt. They may not be able to improve it much with new modem upgrades. I know i will test them out myself though....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sputnik767:
That doesn't mean I'm wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tensux:
true... but you clearly are :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] sputnik767:
ok buddy, whatever helps you sleep at night.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tensux:
Lol. If I let know it alls cause me to lose sleep, I wouldn't sleep a wink ; )
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Sezmar:
I myself have seen an increase in speeds, not sure why but, I went from 8Mb to 18Mb since MJA.

Broke the LCD under the touch screen. Can't even reset the phone because I can't see the screen. The outer touch screen is fine. I took her apart and want to replace the whole casing, lcd, and screen. It's just easier than separating the screen and removing the lcd. I removed the motherboard. My worry is where the IMEI is stored. Is it stored on the removable motherboard or contained in the screen/frame unit?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sewalk:
I just replaced the front half of my phone due to a cracked screen a few weeks ago. This is a very simple operation that requires nothing more than a screwdriver, a fingernail or small blade, and a little patience. Once you replace it, your phone operates just as it did before. All flash and parameters are contained within the main board, not the LCD/Digitizer assembly.

The phone includes the aosp keyboard but it doesn't seem to support swiping. :confused: There is also no option for it in the settings.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Cyanide:
So, for a frame of reference, my last Android device had a screen 5", but 800x480 resolution. The Nexus 5's resolution completely blows it away.

That said, I've noticed something with regard to videos being played using the default video player (I'm not even sure if it has a name). I tried watching some videos from the Engadget App (which, to the best of my knowledge, relies on the default video player to play videos), and to my surprise one of the videos was showing up about the size of a postage stamp. A different video showed up a little larger, but neither scaled up to the full space. I opened both videos up on my old Android and they ran full screen just fine.

My current guess is that the Nexus 5 has a higher screen resolution than the video it's trying to play back and it's playing the video at a 1:1 ratio. Any ideas on what might be able to fix this, or should I sit tight and wait for an update?
